  1. I don't get the "nameless" fetish. How does that make them better? Agreed. I thought it was cool at first, but when the cubs rolled them out I really didn't like how they looked. For me, it was the opposite. I was a skeptic at first. Loved it when I actually saw it. I think the Cubs went back to names so they could sell a crapload of Soriano jerseys. Buying a generic 12 isn't the same to fans. If we're gonna get really into specifics, I wish our jerseys had the "blockier" numbers as opposed to the rounded out ones we have...but I really don't care that much. Just something I've noticed over the years. The different colored name/number aspect of the road jerseys is sort of unique. I wonder what they'd look like if they were uniform though.
  2. looks cleaner
  3. Honestly, I really don't care about the other ones. I just want the home jerseys stripeless and nameless. The current road jerseys are ugly as sin and anything would be an improvement.
  4. 8 of 30 is many? Also, the proposed "home alternate" is kinda ehhhh, one because it's just the current BP jersey with names, and two because jersey numbering should never be the same color as the jersey with only an outline to differentiate it, regardless of what the Braves and Angels want you to think. Yes, 8 of 30 is "many."
  5. I'd only re-sign Dempster to a very team friendly deal. Giving him a lot of money could turn out to be disastrous.
  6. A lot of people seem to be forgetting that it's a terrible idea to sign guys coming off career years to big contracts. Don't let emotions cloud your judgment. I don't expect Ryan Dempster to continue to be one of the top few pitchers in baseball. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
  7. pinstripes are lame and done by many teams
  8. Gallagher with 10ER in 5 IP tonight
  9. Yea, but if Cuban is willing to go nuts, I'd rather it be for CC, assuming Yost doesn't pitch his arm off. Sheets would be a decent consolation prize, but his injuries are the obvious concern.
  10. It'll take a lot of luck to sweep the Mets with all our starters resting up for the NLDS.
  11. The Cardinals are 10 games behind us in the loss column. We can finish a game below 500 the rest of the way(18-19) and the Cards need to go 25-10 just to tie us. If we close at our current pace(we'll round down and say 22-15) the Cardinals need to go 29-6 just to tie. The Cardinals have as much chance at catching us as the Astros do. Umm, I was talking Wild Card. I KNOW that St Louis has very little chance - if any - of catching us [unless we inexplicably choke even harder than the 2007 Mets], but between MIL/StL/PHI/FLA (& AZ if LAD wins West), I'd rather see StL come out of that pack as the 4th playoff team. And even so, if its during the last series vs them (9/19-21 @ Wrigley) and it means the Cards winning the WC spot or us clinching the division & HFA sooner, I'll root for the Cubs first hands down. You did say that you didn't want to root for the Cardinals "at the expense of the Cubs' own division & HFA clinching aspirations." And then pointed out that we have 6 games left with them. That would seem to imply to the reader that you think the Cards do have a chance of catching us for the division. That's what SSR was replying to...
  12. I posted in another thread the other day wondering if his injuries had actually been pitching-arm type injuries or if he had run into other stuff... It turns out it's sort of both, but encouraging nonetheless... http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/1116622,CST-SPT-cub20.article
  13. Came across these on another forum, but not sure who to give credit to for making them... I've always wanted the Cubs to switch to an all-white home jersey... I actually thought these looked pretty nice. I'd rather have the regular Cubs logo on the alts though. I'm making it a link, since the image is huge http://www.aww-kittah-aww.com/up/files/1435/cubsearlystuffhs0.png
  14. Typically, when he's approaching 90-100 seems right. I could be off.
  15. Runner at 3rd with one out for Ramirez, I like
  16. nope david, message board jinx overrides television jinx Hey, now... I said nothing about Rich Harden. Blame IMB
  17. like I said. Only with the guys who try to do stupid aggressive things on the bases.
  18. I think I just set a record for bad karma in a single post.
  19. I think today is the anniversary of Ken Holtzman's no-hitter in 69.
  20. Braun not in the Brewers lineup tonight.
  21. and soriano's gangsta glare after hitting those bombs
